  I wanted my blog site verified by Pinterest but I couldn’t because the instruction included that I have to add a certain meta tag to an index.html file in WordPress however that did not exist. In my search, I come across this site http://wordpress.org/plugins/pinterest-verify/installation/ that tells me to install a certain plug in. You can download the zipped file from the same link. For me, it is very important to get verified and everyone is now engaged in multiple social media so it helps increase stats or viewers if we are able to connect one social media to the other and get verified.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  re: plugins
  WordPress.com is a multiuser blogging platform. Our blogs are not free standing. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins. There is no upgrade you can purchase that will provide FTP access and the ability to install plugins, upload themes, and/or edit templates and themes in a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

  To use plugins you must hire a web host and then set up your own WordPress.org install.
